§ The result
Avature leads Canditech on all 7 criteria.
Avature scores 48 and Canditech 39 under rubric v1.0, a 9-point gap across the ATS-integrated and Assessment cohorts. Avature is ahead of Canditech on all 7 criteria but on none of them by as much as 20 raw points, the closest being FRIA Support at Avature 32 to Canditech 30. The advantage Avature holds is spread out: Article 11 Technical Documentation is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing (Avature 55, Canditech 37, 20% weight), yet it supplies only 38% of the weighted points Avature gains across the 7 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 7 figures above sum to +9.5 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 9.5 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +9 beside that +9.5.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
